Modern biology increasingly relies on high-throughput techniques. This trend challenges computational biologists to quickly extract as much useful information from the data as possible. In the genomic sense, this primarily implies correlating phenotypic differences with observed nucleotide sequence variations. On the protein side the challenge generally is to annotate protein function at reasonable accuracy levels. The whole organism level, then incorporates all types of evidence to annotate evolutionary history, current health conditions, and prognosed phenotypic changes.
